Frustrated With CH Pedals

[burm 3]

HI allI have been using CH yoke and pedals for a few years with little problem. I now am using them with fs9 and Windows 7 64.When I taxi or on takoff roll, the differential brake on either side will engage when steering using the rudder. I have tried in fs settings to increase the null zone and change sensitivity settings with no success.I then disabled joystick in fs and thought I would set my CH devices up in FSUIPC. I have followed the FSUIPC manual and Simsamuri tutorial for setup of CH products as best I can with the same results. Still when rolling on the ground I push either rudder pedal, a differential brake will engage causing the plane to swerve.Anyone got a setup with these products that works well? I would appreciate some help.ThanksPaul

Hi mateare you using CHproducts control manager 4.51.it's the one i use and it seems to do the job.steve-0i also have a plate screwed into the floor which my pedals push against.that way i can the keep my heels pressed down to keep the brakes off.

Paul,I can definitely understand your frustration. There is a small program that clears Win7 joystick calibrations that solved these and other CH issues for me. I apologize for not being able to give you a link but I am on the road and away from my PC. I am sure other members are aware of it.

PaulI f you contact Bob Church on CH Hangar Forums he can help you.For CH Pedals to work correctly you must have the null zone at 0 and sensitivity at 100 - Bob will explain why.Best connected to a USB port directly on the mobo or via a good powered HUB.All USB ports and HUBS should have the power off when idle button unchecked in Device Manager ie powered at all times.Look for duplicate assignments for rudder and brakes in and other game controllers plus the mouse plus the keyboard and remove them.For use with FSUIPC if you use the CH Manager it should be in 'Direct" Mode. If using FSUIPC anything you assign in FSX must not be duplicated in FSUIPC.You may have to calibrate the pedals with a CD case under them - that sometimes stops the DB coming on when applying the rudder.Can you calibrate the pedals OK in Windows?I wrote a guide for FS9 which is a sticky on the CH Hangar Forums that goes thru' the setup in detail - might give you some tips.RegardsPeterH

Have you tried checking the reverse box in the FS9 assignments. Under the axis column? If uncheck your differential will be active when pedal is in dedault or un pressed position

The answer is FSUIPC. While holding down each brake an inch or two (depends how much gap you want b4 it will engage), then press the button labeled "center" on the FSUIPC screen for the left brake. Do the same with the right break.Works great. I had the exact same issue you describe.Bob

Yes this is another good check. Some times it's best best to copy your FSUIPC. cfg file to desktop and then delete the original in modules folder. Start FS and a new cfg file will get rebuilt. Make your Make your yoke , pedal and rudder settings. Shut down FS and restart, then see if it takes.Also Bob no offense, but this should be a non political, neutral and non religious forum. I may be wrong but this forum agenda should be only used for Flight Simulation. not your patriotic believes. I'm a vet also, but this isn' the place to voice my beliefs. I maybe wrong.

Yes, you are right and it was the Vet that allowed you to voice your opinion. No one else has ever complained about my signature. If the powers to be would like me to remove it I will. I certainly do not wish to offend anyone. Also, this has nothing to do with a religion, although I am a Christian.RegardsBob

Hi when you set these up put a cd case under each pedal. Make sure FS is not running, go into control panel or Devices, re runsetup again and see how that goes. Keeping the pedals from resting on the bottom when re aligning is the trick.
